안녕하세요.

지난 2007년에I485 3순위로 신청했습니다.

PD는 2006년 7월이고요.

현재 EAD를 이용하여 일하고 있는데 직장을 같은 계통으로 옮기려고 합니다.

새 직장에서는 EAD를 시간 맟추어 갱신해 준다고 하는데.

그 이외에 준비해야 하는 일이 있나요?

새 회사의 규모가 작아서 전 회사보다 많이 모르네요.

혹시라도 제 PD를 이전 직장에서 취소시킬수 있는건 아니지요?

 

답변 미리 감사드립니다. 좋은 하루 되세요.

They can revoke your approved I-140, but your I-485 won’t be affected.

I just wanted to add more color around SamOh’s comment above, which may cause a big concern.

An August 2003 USCIS memo provides that one may still be eligible to use AC21 even even if an approved I-140 petition is revoked after the I-485 has been pending 180 days or more.

Under Section 106 of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act (AC21) of 2000, now incorporated into section 204(j) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), an adjustment application remains valid with respect to a new job if the adjustment application has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180 days or more. The new job must be in the same or a similar occupational classification as the job for which the application was filed.

In conclusion, as long as you changed a job in the same or a similar occupational classification after your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more, you should be fine.

저랑 케이스랑 시기가 많이 비슷하신데. 전 회사 변호사가 AC21으로 이직했음을 알렸다고 하더군요.

Yes, it would be a safe bet that you submit evidence to USCIS that the new job is in the same or a similar occupational classification, since the memo indicates that it is expected that the alien will have submitted such evidence.

If the underlying approved I-140 is revoked or withdrawn, and the alien has not submitted such evidence, the adjudicating officer must issue a NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) the pending I-485 (NOT immediately deny the I-485). If the evidence of a new qualifying employment submitted in response of the NOID is timely filed, the officer may consider the approved I-140 to remain valid with respect to the new employment and may continue regular processing of the I-485.
